According to Nigel Lythgoe, Executive Producer of American Idol, Britney Spears will not be guest starring on American Idol for a while.

He explains that Spears needs nurturing more than the harassment of being prey to the cameras that watch her every movement.

Unfortunately, it’s true that Spears has become something of a childhood dream gone askew. Gaining popularity and being considered at a young age as a singing sensation- that was the height of Britney’s life. Now, it seems as if the media that had so loved watching this child star grow up, has done nothing but bash and pry at the life of a celebrity that has fallen on hard times.

I blame the media for Brittany’s current actions more than anything. Ever since becoming a mother, she’s been watched and scrutinized for every move she’s made. Sure, she’s not the best mother around, but no one is perfect, and that includes celebrities. It was a big deal because a celebrity did something that the public didn’t agree with.

To add to that stress, a divorce was soon to follow, as well as drug rehabilitation problems and parent counseling. This girl has gone through most of the things that a good portion of people have also gone through, but it’s much more important when it’s about Spears. I’d go off the deep end too if I had cameras in my face day in and day out, and I most certainly wouldn’t mind smacking a reporter around with an umbrella if I could get away with it too! Even now, while Spears tries to continue her performing, she is judged on how her body looks, how she sings, and how she performs. Brittany just can’t get away from the cameras, and that’s a sad, sad thing.

But I do agree with Nigel Lythgoe, only in that Spears needs help, and more importantly, she needs to get away from the public eye for a while. It’d help her greatly.
